Walangay : This name, in each case following Werlay or Verlai, corresponds with Valanger on Duchesne's list, and may possibly be intended for the same. Or it may stand for Valancey. I find a "Willielmus de Walanceio" in the Norman Exchequer Rolls of 1189-93. Valancey was a fief held of the Honour of Gavray by Helias de Amondeville in 1195. He owed service ad custodiam castri de Gavreio. In England, "Raimerus de Valencianus" held in Middlesex in 1130.—Rot. Pip. John de Valencene acquired Tonehouse, in the parish of Harewood, Yorkshire, about 1309.—Dodsworth's MSS. But I do not feel clear that either of these can be identified with Valencay.
